"A mixture of celery, onion and green pepper adds spark to this simple green bean side dish. It's pleasantly seasoned with dried tarragon and lemon-pepper, so its flavor complements most main-dish meats."

Threw this together tonight--we loved it! The tarragon is a wonderful ingredient in this dish. Ingredients are VERY MUCH approximated. I made enough orange roughy for two of us. It depends on the size of orange roughy you use--just eyeball it. Olive oil does not need to cover fish when it goes into the oven, because the fish will cook down and eventually get covered with it anyway.

Courtesy of Southern Living, this recipe is for their Roasted potato and green bean salad. But we like it on our home grown arugula. Try it this summer when the tarragon is fresh.

We love asparagus, especially cheap and in season. I am always looking for a new way to prepare, other than roasting. This dish has become one of our favorites. Cooks Notes: In place of tarragon, use 2 tablespoons fresh dill, 1/4 cup chervil, or 1 tablespoon lemon thyme.

This recipe is so simple, healthy, and yummy! It is based on one I found in Gourmet Magazine (May 2007). They recommend using morel mushrooms, but the recipe works just as well with any kind of mushroom. If you don't have tarragon, you can use fresh basil instead. If you can find the white asparagus, you can use 1 pound of the white asparagus and one of the green for a lovely presentation. If you do use the white asparagus, cook it for a little longer (about 5 minutes) in a separate pot.

Another vegetarian favorite from Mollie Katzen's "Vegetable Heaven."

Another use for those little bags of baby carrots and this one uses fresh tarragon from my garden! Yum! From May 2007 GH (not tried yet, will do soon)

A nice dish for a brunch. It's important to use fresh (not dried) tarragon.
